Ma Fugui saw stars before his eyes and almost lost his sight. He staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.
Shen Honggang shielded Zhang Guizhi behind him, while Shen Jingyan and Shen Yulan ran out of the kitchen and helped Mingxiu up.
"Mingxiu, are you hurt? Does your stomach hurt?"
Ma Fugui used all his strength in that kick just now.

He actually had the heart to kill a little girl, who was his own daughter!
What kind of beast is this!
Mingxiu simply shook her head, tears welling in her eyes, but her gaze was resolute.
The first thing she did after standing up was to grab a stool and smash it hard on Ma Fugui's head.
Her eyes were filled with hatred, as if the person in front of her had nothing to do with her, but was simply an enemy.
Ma Fugui let out another scream.
"My child!"
Zhang Guizhi held Mingxiu tightly in her arms, and the mother and daughter burst into tears.
Everyone who saw this felt terrible.
Before Zhang Guizhi divorced Ma Fugui, she must have spent almost every day in such a nightmare.

Shen Hong grabbed Ma Fugui by the collar and dragged him outside.
"Get out! Get out of my yard!"
Ma Fugui recovered, the pain largely dispelling the effects of the alcohol. He forcefully broke free from Shen Honggang and glared at him, asking:
"Who do you think you are? What business is it of yours if I'm looking for my woman?"
Zhang Guizhi retorted sharply, "Ma Fugui, have you no shame! Who's your woman? We've been divorced for three years!"
Ma Fugui, with his stiff neck and arrogant attitude, was extremely repulsive.
"You bitch! Divorce? What divorce? I don't accept this!"
“You…” Zhang Guizhi was so angry that she trembled all over.
Shen Honggang pressed down hard on Ma Fugui's shoulder with one hand and said in a cold voice:
"Ma Fugui, are you even a man? Hitting women and children, aren't you ashamed?"

Ma Fugui was a head shorter than Shen Honggang, which put him at a significant disadvantage in terms of presence. Shen Honggang was a manual laborer and was many times stronger than Ma Fugui, a drunkard. Ma Fugui felt as if Shen Honggang was about to crush his shoulders.
But he refused to admit defeat, shouting, "I'm beating my wife and kids, what business is it of yours? Or what—"
He narrowed his eyes, reddened by the smell of alcohol. "You've got your eye on my wife? You shameless bastard, you dare touch my wife?"
Shen Honggang has always been kind to others. He is gentle and does not easily fight with people. The punch he threw just now was to protect Zhang Guizhi.
Suppressing his anger, he shoved Ma Fugui toward the gate of the courtyard and roared:
"Get lost! Get as far away as you can! If you dare to cause trouble again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Ma Fugui was pushed out of the courtyard gate, and Shen Honggang immediately locked the gate.
Zhang Guizhi sighed deeply, releasing all her strength, and squatted down at her doorstep, covering her face and sobbing.
Mingxiu hugged her shoulders and silently shed tears.
The sight of the mother and daughter was heartbreaking.

Shen Jingyan and Shen Yulan helped Zhang Guizhi into the house.
Zhang Guizhi kept her home spotless and everything was neatly arranged; she was clearly a woman who knew how to live well.
Shen Honggang followed him into the house.
Shen Yulan said, "Dad, please persuade Aunt Zhang. Jingya and I will go check if Mingxiu is injured."
Mingxiu had her own little room. When Shen Yulan and Shen Jingyan went in, the little girl was lying on the bed clutching her stomach. She bit her lip tightly, not daring to make a sound, but her tears had already soaked the pillow.
Shen Jingyan sat on the edge of the bed and gently patted Mingxiu's shoulder.
"Let me see your injury, okay?"
Mingxiu nodded with tears in her eyes.
When she lifted Mingxiu's sweater, Shen Yulan gasped and covered her mouth.
The little girl had a large bruise on her abdomen, which looked shocking against her fair skin.

Shen Jingyan carefully touched the ribs around Mingxiu's wound with two fingers and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Mingxiu shook her head: "It doesn't hurt, I'm used to it."
How much bitterness is contained in a seemingly casual remark.
Shen Jingyan carefully discovered that the little girl had many old injuries on her body, leaving scars of various sizes.
Some scars look like they were pinched or twisted hard.
Men usually don't pinch or twist when they hit someone. Shen Jingyan guessed that Mingxiu had been abused and beaten by that patriarchal old hag in the past.
Shen Yulan looked at the wounds on Mingxiu's body and felt so heartbroken that she almost cried.
"I'll go get the safflower oil!"
Shen Jingyan carefully examined Mingxiu's wound again to confirm that no bone was broken.
Mingxiu tugged at Shen Jingyan's sleeve and whispered, "Jingya, please don't tell my mother, or she'll cry again."

Shen Jingyan nodded.
She and Shen Yulan applied safflower oil to Mingxiu and then used a hot towel to apply heat to Mingxiu's stomach.
Inside the main room, Shen Honggang handed Zhang Guizhi a handkerchief, which she took and began to sob softly.
